What is the usual torque recommended to install a crankset on a square taper BB?
Came across 35 to 45 Nm from parktool spreadsheet, 35 Nm from Probikeshop recommendation, and some sources also for around 35 Nm.
Contacted the manufacturer directly that handed me a document where it states "left arm (shim) 12 to 15Nm", suspected it was for hollow BB and not square for the mention of left arm only and much lower torque compared to what I came across, but when I raised the interrogation they did not answer back.
So anyone got a usual torque recommendation for these? And please do not describe how you install it by feel, I am after a reference value because I am already doing it by feel but would like to install the next one properly as much as possible.
Anyone with technical advices such as @gbj_tester for example :)?
